Italian Infield Sensations Stir National League Race
In the National League race the young Italian infielders Dolph Camilli of the Cubs and Cookie Lavagetto of the Pirates stand out. Lavagetto, age nineteen, bought from Oakland and hailed as the new boy wonder, has energized Pittsburgh fans while Camilli appears to have displaced Cholly Grimm at first base for the Cubs. The piece notes Camilli’s defensive mastery and growing hitting promise, and recalls Frankie Campbell Camilli’s late brother who died after a boxing match with Max Baer.
